2. Safety and Legal Notices Please read this section carefully before using GPS Navigator TeleNav and Bell Mobility will not accept any responsibility whatsoever for accidents resulting from failure to observe common sense precautions. Your personal judgment, traffic regulations, and common sense must always take precedence over any driving direction produced by GPS Navigator. WARNING: Keep your eyes on the road. It is your responsibility as the vehicle operator to keep your eyes on the road and be an alert driver at all times, ESPECIALLY when the vehicle is moving. The vehicle operator should not be distracted by the application displays, audible cues, or manually interacting with the controls. When you need to enter data on your device using the keypad or study the display, please do so while the vehicle is parked, not while in motion. Should your ability to drive responsibly be decreased, please turn off the device. WARNING: Install the equipment safely. If you are using a device mounting kit, make sure that it does not obscure your vision. You may wish to charge the device while using GPS Navigator. If so, make sure the charging cable does not interfere with any of the vehicle controls. WARNING: Drive safely and use common sense. The vehicle operator s personal judgment, traffic regulations, and common sense must always take precedence over the instructions provided by GPS Navigator. It is your responsibility as the vehicle operator to drive safely, observe all traffic rules, and above all use your own personal judgment while driving. If you feel that a route suggested by the navigation software instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe, do not follow the instructions. 2011 TELENAV, INC.

Shortest - This Route Style may or may not take more time to drive but it shows you the shortest distance. Prefer Streets - Use streets instead of highways if possible. Prefer Highway - Use highways instead of streets if possible. Pedestrian - Find walking directions. NOTE: The Pedestrian route style may make your walking route easier, for example by allowing you to take advantage of going the wrong way down one-way streets. As always, use your common sense to determine the safety of any route. When you choose one of the above options, you will see a screen where you can select what to avoid on your route. Choose a field, then choose Done. NOTE: This screen does not appear if you selected Pedestrian as your Route Style. Drive to Your Destination Moments after you select a Drive To location, GPS Navigator calculates up to three routes to your destination that it believes are the most optimal. For more information about navigation options, see page 24. The routes are color-coded, as depicted on the right. Choose the one that you prefer. 2011 TELENAV, INC. Page 23 of 53
Moving to the Nearest Street If you are not directly on a street, for example you are in a large parking lot or driveway, you will see a screen that shows GPS Navigator s best estimate of where you are with guidance on how to move to the first street. Audible Guidance Tones GPS Navigator delivers spoken audible directions as you drive. A preparatory audible tone is typically heard no less than 30 seconds before reaching a turn, and an action audible tone is typically heard no less than 10 seconds before reaching a turn. The preparatory audible tone may not be sounded if the distance to the next turn only allows time for the action tone. The lead times for the audible guidance tones are increased proportionally to your driving speed. This allows more time for changing lanes before a turn if you are driving at highway speeds as opposed to driving more slowly on local streets. A Preference setting determines whether street names are included in the messages or not. Enabling street names increases packet data usage. Audio Replay To repeat an audio prompt during navigation, press the top navigation bar. Miss a Turn? Whenever you miss a turn, turn the wrong way, turn too early or too late, or otherwise get off the planned route to your destination, the GPS Navigator automatically creates a new route to your desired destination, audibly announces, Rerouting, and give you a new set of instructions. If you realize you have missed a turn or have otherwise gotten off the route, just keeping driving. GPS Navigator detects your current location and recalculates a new set of driving directions to get you back on track. It may take approximately 15 to 30 seconds for GPS Navigator to update your route. If during this process you make additional deviations from your current route, GPS Navigator may have to contact its servers for another new route. Since GPS Navigator requires access your carrier s network, if you are off route and outside of the carrier s coverage area, you must return to your carrier s coverage area in order for GPS Navigator to recalculate your route. Navigation Options The default navigation view is 3D moving maps, but you may wish to use the 2D Map instead. The Options menu has the following options: Search Along Use the Search menu to find the desired locations along your navigation route. For example, find every Mexican restaurant on your route between San Francisco and Sacramento. This also displays how many miles off your route is each restaurant. Select a restaurant from the Search Along list to get driving directions from your current location to the restaurant. Recalculate Route Use this option to refresh the calculation to your destination, for example, if you have selected the Avoid Traffic Delays routing option and you want to proactively refresh your route to optimize for traffic. 2011 TELENAV, INC. Page 24 of 53
You can also use Recalculate Route if during a navigation session you would like to edit your Route Style. Remember to pull over safely before interacting with the device. Then choose No, Edit Style on the Recalculate pop-up to be taken to the Select Route Style screen (see page 43 for more information about Navigation Settings). 2D Moving Map NOTE: You can set either 2D Map or 3D Map view as your default in the Menu >> Settings >> Navigation menu (see page 43). This view allows you to see how the road network is organized, similar to the perspective of a cartographer looking down on a map. The name of the street you are currently on is displayed at the bottom of the screen. About 2 minutes before the next turn, the street name changes to the one you will turn onto. 2011 TELENAV, INC. Page 25 of 53
When you are viewing moving maps during navigation and have set Traffic Alerts to On in Menu >> Settings >> Navigation, a Traffic Alert icon will appear at the bottom-right corner of the map if there is an accident less than 15 miles ahead of your current route. You will see the distance along the route until the accident and hear an audio warning. 3D Moving Map A 3-dimensional map with turn icons (default). This view allows you to see how the road ahead is organized, similar to the perspective of a bird flying above the route. You can see the route to your destination as a blue overlay on one of the roads with white triangles leading you in the correct direction. Orange arrows mark any upcoming turns. The name of the street you are currently on is displayed at the bottom of the screen. About two minutes before the next turn, the street name changes to the one you will turn onto. When you are viewing moving maps during navigation and have set Traffic Alerts to On in Menu >> Settings >> Navigation, a Traffic Alert icon will appear on the map if there is an accident less than 15 miles ahead of your current route.

A location accrues points based on how many stars it is given by GPS Navigator users. When a location consistently achieves above-average ratings, its popularity count increases. Negative ratings lower the popularity count of the location. See Ratings on Page 35 for more information. Ratings Locations with star ratings next to them indicate those for which you can view the averaged rating by other users. You can also submit your own rating for this location, indicated by the number of stars (the range is from 1 to 5). 2011 TELENAV, INC. Page 35 of 53

If you answer the call, GPS Navigator will be operating but suspended. After the call, press the Escape key to end the call. At this point, GPS Navigator should resume from its suspended state. If you are navigating and have gotten off the route, GPS Navigator will say Rerouting and obtain a new route for you.

When incoming calls are blocked due to GPS Navigator s use of your carrier s data network, phone calls go to your voice mail if you have a voice mail service available. 15.
